A Bayesian analysis of the association between <i>Leukotriene A4 Hydrolase</i> genotype and survival probability of tuberculous meningitis patients treated with adjunctive dexamethasone

2020-08-03

Abstract excerpt

Tuberculous meningitis (TBM) remains the most devastating form of tuberculosis (TB) with high mortality despite effective antimicrobial treatment. As mortality has been linked to excessive inflammation, anti-inflammatory glucocorticoids are now routinely used as adjunctive treatment with antimicrobial therapy.
